Why is it so messy?

Healing often sounds like a very methodical process.

Just see a therapist.

Maybe you need to work out more.

Try an art class.

What's your self-care like?

Healing is actually like being on a roller coaster some days, where the turns appear almost unexpectedly.

I thought I forgave until they said that!

I thought I was no longer struggling with that addiction until that happened.

How does life have the ability to send us ten steps back sometimes?

Healing is not linear, or methodical, or a process you "complete".

It's a journey.

But thank God we have a guide.

The steps of a man are established by the Lord, when he delights in his way;

though he fall, he shall not be cast headlong,

for the Lord upholds his hand.

Psalm 37:23-24

Even on those messy days.
